Ignition problems!

My 1996 F-250’s ignition broke on me this weekend. It would start but not turn off. Had to pull the fuel pump relay to shut the dang thing off. Torn into it tonight and found out it wasn’t my tumbler or the ignition switch, it’s the plastic rod connectiong the two broke. Anybody have this problem and how did ya’ll get to the rod?

that is the ignition actuator, and you have to tear the column apart to replace it.

Links to a good thread on steering column tear down. Tilt steering makes a difference.

only problem with those instructions is he has a 96, and that is for 91 and older trucks. there is nothing the same on the two columns.
